Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Tobo

Leave it to my friends at Marc by Marc Jacobs to come up with a cute name for something I’ve seen a lot of lately – a bag that, despite having two handles like a tote, is shaped like a hobo. They’ve added such a bag to their popular Totally Turnlock line and dubbed it the Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Tobo. Get it? It’s a TOBO. A tote and a hobo, all in one. Huzzah! Brilliant! It has a name! Words are kinda my thing, and now that I have something to call the multitude of other bags that have lately shown up with the same structure, I’m a happy girl. I’m not particularly excited about the bag itself – it’s a fairly standard edition to the line, and for some reason the color is called Saffron, even though it’s not even close to yellow. I’m sure the leather is great, as it is on all of the similar Totally Turnlock bags, and I’d probably be more excited if it came in a more interesting color, but as it is, I’m excited to have such an appropriate word to use in future posts. Who knew that handbags would ever increase my vocabulary? Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $498.
